Folks should not believe for a moment that illegal entrants are subject to the sole jusridiction of the U.S. If so, how is it the native country of an illegal entrant accepts them back when we deport them?

I agree. In fact, if illegal aliens are subject to the sole jurisdiction of the United States, how can our government legally deport them? Our government can't deport American citizens, as they are subject to the sole jurisdiction of the United States.

Indeed, better-thinking folks today recognize the flaw in anchor baby eligibility/entitlement practices.
However, we will live with it until courageous politicians prevail over the anti-America political blowback.
Fortunately, some are currently proposing legislation in that regard.

The issue is solely the result of the machinations of modern day, agenda-driven bureaucrats, with no supporting language in the Constitution or the 14th A.

As one member of the USSC remarked in the controversial Wong Kim Ark case regarding the 14th:

"The phrase 'subject to its jurisdiction' was intended to exclude from its operation children of ministers, consuls, and citizens or subjects of foreign States born within the United States."
